10/08/03 		I got the book vegetarian cookbook, "Simply Heavenly" recently but I haven't really gotten into the "un-meats" yet. I was surprised to see how many recipes call for MSG , what with all the stigma attached to it. I know in the book that they give reassurances of it's safety but I am still a little hesitant about diving into using it. So I would appreciate any opinions or if anyone could point me towards more info on it... Thanks.
